In the last decade the epigraphists have grown a new interest in signacula, a class of artifacts for a long time neglected. This has brought numerous contributions devoted to the different regional contexts, along with ...

We consider the problem of relaxing a discrete (n - 1) dimensional hyper surface defining the boundary between two adjacent n dimensional regions in a discrete segmentation. This problem often occurs in computer graphics ...

This paper describes a new "envelope" approach for detecting object perimeters in line-drawings vectorised from sketches of polyhedral objects. Existing approaches for extracting contours from digital images are unsuitable ...

In recent years, fabrication technologies developed at a very fast pace. However, some limitations on shape and dimension still apply both to additive and subtractive manufacturing, and one way to bypass them could be the ...

In this paper, we describe the design and the implementation of the demonstrator for the Virtuoso project, which aims at creating seamless support for fitness and wellness activities in touristic resort.We define the ...

In this paper we present a novel solution for single-handed deviceless object manipulation (e.g. picking/translating, rotating and scaling) in immersive visualization environments. The new method is based on degree of ...

In The Social Picture (TSP) an huge amount of crowdsourced social images can be collected and explored. We distinguish three main kind of events: public, private and cultural heritage related ones. The framework embeds a ...

Continuous advancements in the field of robotics and its increasing spread across heterogeneous application scenarios make the development of ever more effective user interfaces for human-robot interaction (HRI) an extremely ...

Astrocytes are the most abundant type of glial cells of the central nervous system; their involvement in brain functioning, from synaptic to network level, is to date a matter of intense research. A well-established function ...
